Liverpool Story: Portrait of a City review city symphony goes down the identity route
Briefly

"Draper’s relationship with the past seems different to Terence Davies’s mastery; he appears less interested in history than in exploring identity and the present moment."
"The Liverpool accent is quintessentially multicultural, a blend of Irish, Welsh and Norwegian heritage, emphasizing the city's diverse roots and ongoing evolution in identity."
"Though Draper attempts to create a grand collage of scouse life, the film lacks a central narrative and thematic depth, often feeling haphazardly organized."
"Comments regarding the city center's lost identity are telling, yet the film's homogeneity detracts from its potential to reveal Liverpool's true character beyond the surface."
